You have only tasted one part of the finished pastry. The course pairs the shells with ganache and fillings such as pistachio, salted caramel or caramelised banana, so the filling changes the balance of flavour and texture.

The reference also notes that filled macarons benefit from refrigerated maturation, describing them as best after about 24 hours. That is a quality note, not a universal safe shelf life or proof that a sticky shell is fully baked.
